1. A method of inhibiting gene expression of CIP2A in a cell, comprising the steps of:
- (i) providing a cell selected from the group consisting of liver cancer cell, endometrial cancer cell and cervical cancer cell;
(ii) providing a first siRNA targeted against Ets1 mRNA, said first siRNA hybridizes to a target sequence of Ets1 mRNA selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO;
34, SEQ ID NO;
35, SEQ ID NO;
36 and SEQ ID NO;
37;
(iii) providing a second siRNA targeted against Elk1 mRNA, said second siRNA hybridizes to a target sequence of Elk1 mRNA selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO;
38, SEQ ID NO;
39, SEQ ID NO;
40 and SEQ ID NO;
41; and
(iv) exposing said first siRNA and said second siRNA to said cell, wherein said first siRNA and said second siRNA together inhibit the gene expression of CIP2A in said cell.

Abstract
Disclosed are methods of attenuating activity of the gene promoter of CIP2A. siRNAs are used to target against Ets1 and Elk1 transcriptional factors, thereby blocking the binding of Ets1 and Elk1 to the CIP2A gene promoter. It is disclosed that the siRNAs targeted against Ets1 and Elk1 attenuate the gene expression of CIP2A. A kit containing siRNA reagents for attenuating the CIP2A gene expression is also disclosed.
